190 Shock

"Bang bang bang-"

His heart was beating so fast that Jack even felt cold in his hands and feet. Jack is so big, he is not a country boy who has never seen anything. It's not that I've never seen a dead person, but it's definitely not like that.

Although Vivianfo did not die, the situation was terrifying.

Vivianfu's expression after falling to the ground was too terrifying, especially when he could only see the white eyeballs. This horrific situation was the first time Jack had seen it at the scene. In fact, not only Jack, but also the players of both teams have been affected.

After all, on the football field, this is not a common situation. It's happened before, but it's happened in the lower leagues. Compared to the lower leagues, players in the top league are subjected to the most formal medical examinations. In the top league, especially in the last decade or so, this kind of thing has not been seen.

These players on the field have never seen such a horrible thing on the spot.

Therefore, after Vivianfo was carried away on a stretcher, the players on both sides did not have much energy to play. They were all involuntarily affected by the events of Vivianfu and could not exert their strength normally.

Lose one's nerve?

Jack hasn't reached that level yet. After all, Vivianfo and Jack don't have much to do with each other. Jack knows Vivianfo, a Manchester City player whom he has met a few times in the Premier League. But the relationship between the two parties is only that, and there is no other personal relationship between the two parties.

But even so, the impact of Vivianfo's fate on Jack was so great that Jack himself couldn't remember how the remaining twenty minutes passed.

"Doodoo-"

Finally waited until the end of the game. Jack really couldn't wait to blow the whistle for the end of the game.

On the field, Jack felt the torment, the real torment. Jack didn't want to stay on this pitch for a minute. Not a minute to hope that this game will continue.

"Whew-"

Jack breathed a sigh of relief that the game was finally over. Jack walked slowly off the field. Mark. Halsey grabbed Jack. Halsey was the fourth referee of the match. A lot of top referees want to rest in the summer, but Halsey doesn't include them.

Halsey though has a restaurant at home. But he has a family to support and two children at home. And it's very easy to be the fourth referee, and you don't have to waste your energy. With Jack officiating for a few games, he can earn tens of thousands of euros, and Halsey will not refuse this kind of good thing. And for more than ten days in France, the food and accommodation are in the most luxurious hotels, and FIFA reimburses them all.

That's why Halsey followed Jack to the Confederations Cup.

"Jack, news just came from the hospital. Vivianfo was not able to be resuscitated in the hospital. โ€

"Dead?"

Jack was already very nervous, and he couldn't help but be shocked when he heard Halsey's words. Of course, Jack didn't think about this possibility. Especially after seeing the horror of Vivianf, Jack thinks that Vivianf's situation is dangerous.

But after hearing that Vivianfo was dead, Jack's heart was beating very fast.

"Yes."

"Dead? It's really dead. โ€

Jack really didn't know what to say at this time. Dead people have seen it, but in front of themselves, a living person has died, but it is the first time he has seen it.

At this time, Jack suddenly remembered the widely circulated Bill. Shankly famously said: Football is not about life and death, football is higher than life and death. This sentence can be said to be known to everyone in world football.

Because this famous quote was the Liverpool dynasty's meritorious coach Bill. Shankly said it.

In English football, it is even more thunderous.

Jack also grew up listening to this phrase. Jack's childhood was spent watching the Liverpool dynasty flourish. Although Jack was not a Liverpool fan at the time, he also enjoyed watching Liverpool games very much. This sentence has always been chanted by Jack every day when he was a fan.

But in the current situation, Jack doesn't know what to say.

Is football really higher than life and death?

Jack doesn't know what to say about this sentence now. After all, a living person died in front of him. This is not writing a novel. It's not about listening to stories, it's about seeing it with your own eyes on the pitch and in the games you enforce.

When a person dies, he really dies. Not a story. It's what really happened.

Is it true that human life is not as good as football? Or can people really give their lives for football?

But Jack understands one thing, and that is that human life is really fragile. Vivianfo is also a well-known player in the Premier League and has never heard of any physical problems. But today he died suddenly. Died without warning.

"Why, exactly?"

"The specific cause of death still needs to be analyzed. However, the preliminary analysis is that the heart is a problem, and the heart should have a congenital problem. It's been too busy lately. And too much fatigue can easily lead to congenital heart disease. So ......"

"Shit."

Jack couldn't help but explode. Then he said to Halsey: "Look at the arrangement of this competition." It's just too bad. It's so bad. Cameroonian players play four games in seven days, and even players who don't have problems will have problems. What a shit arrangement. This time it should be Blatter who is responsible. โ€

A man is dead, and it's right under his nose.

This kind of shock is definitely not just a mouthful. The impact that brought it was never able to be dissipated from Jack's mind. Therefore, Jack despises FIFA and Blatter even more.

Just for such a garbage game as the Confederations Cup, it turned out to be a dead person.

"Are you alright?"

Halsey looked at Jack's face and found it to be very ugly. Halsey and Jack have known each other for several years, not for a day or two. And the cooperation between the two people on the field is not once or twice. From the beginning of the Premier League to some international competitions, the cooperation between the two is still very much.

There were many accidents in the middle of the game.

But Halsey had never seen Jack look like that.

"Nothing. It's just that there's something uncomfortable. โ€

Jack was really uncomfortable. Is it really necessary to die for the sake of a game? How can human life be so fragile?

Why let yourself experience it all for yourself.

"Don't think about it. Let's go back. โ€

"Yes."

Jack nodded. In fact, this kind of thing is not uncommon in the sports world, and there have been such things in the past. This includes athletics and other sports competitions. There have also been cases of sudden death during the game.

But that's all I've heard.

What I heard and what I saw with my own eyes was completely different.

The pace of leaving the pitch with Halsey and two assistant referees became very heavy. And behind Jack. There were already some cries among the players who heard the news.

Jack can also know a little bit without turning his head. That's the cry coming from the Cameroonian players. As the referee of the game, Jack fully understands the Cameroonian players.

It's shocking.

The guy who was playing with them half an hour ago just died. This mood is difficult for outsiders to understand.

โ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ

"Dead? Really dead? โ€

Jack is definitely not the fearless type. On the contrary, Jack also has fear in his heart, and Jack is also an ordinary person. When and Halsey, Michael. When Muraki and the referees were together, Jack was able to calm down a little.

But when he was separated from them and returned to the room alone, Jack was never able to calm down.

When you close your eyes, you can remember the appearance of Vivianfu when he fell to the ground, that terrifying look. At this time, Jack realized that he was definitely not the kind of person who was very bold. Jack didn't know which of the players who had seen Vivianfo live. Is there someone like you?

Tossing and turning, I don't dare to sleep at all.

"Jingle bellโ€”"

"Hello, I'm Jack. Plum. โ€

Jack couldn't sleep, and even the ringing of the phone felt like a burden. However, Jack really wanted to answer the phone, because at this time Jack really wanted someone to talk.

"Jack, I'm Angel. Villar. โ€

"Hello, Mr. Villar."

Now that this is happening, Jack has some resistance to the Confederations Cup. This time officiating the Confederations Cup, Jack found himself less and less fond of the Confederations Cup.

But for Villar, Jack still likes it.

"Jack. I've heard about the competition. How are you? โ€

Vivianfu died suddenly, and the matter was still too big. After all, this is the first time that a player has died suddenly in a world tournament organized by FIFA. And it happened in the event that Blatter forcibly held a competition under the opposition of many people.

Vivianf's sudden death. It will bring huge passivity to FIFA.

Now FIFA's side is already panicking. Blatter, in particular, was already nervous. As a member of the FIFA Executive Committee, Villar is also the head of the FIFA Referee Committee. I have also begun to discuss with FIFA's bigwigs how to deal with this incident.

They all know that the media will be overwhelmingly critical of FIFA and Blatter, as you can imagine.

"I'm fine. It's just too unexpected. โ€

Jack and Villar's relationship is relatively close, but it is impossible to tell Villar how he is now. To be honest, Jack's state is very wrong right now.

"Yes. Then I'm relieved. โ€

Villar didn't suspect Jack. In Villar's opinion, Jack's mental quality is absolutely top-notch to be able to achieve such high results at such a young age. I shouldn't be overwhelmed by this little thing.

"Jack, if you really don't have anything to do, then prepare for the finals."

"Yes, Mr. Villar."

After Jack put down the phone, he smiled wryly. Can you really officiate in the finals in your current state?

At the current state, Jack will definitely not be able to officiate in the final. Thankfully, the final was three days away, and Jack had plenty of time to adjust.

But when he thought of the dead Vivianfu, Jack was still a little afraid of the court. What happens if there is another person who dies suddenly? (To be continued......)
